The name of Yoann Gourcuff still resonates in the memory of many football fans. Thanks to his incredible talent and his vision of the game, the latter has long been considered one of the greatest hopes in French football. And this, from a very young age. Indeed, his ability to make a difference on the pitch put plenty of stars in the eyes of observers. Unfortunately for Yoann Gourcuff, he did not manage to have the career he deserved.
A complicated career for Yoann Gourcuff
Yoann Gourcuff left his mark with his elegance and his technique, well above average. It is therefore natural that the latter burst the screens during his time with the Girondins de Bordeaux. Which allowed him to join the squad of the French team. Unfortunately, the latter's career took another turn.
Indeed, his transfer to Lyon marked a difficult moment for Yoann Gourcuff. And it must be said that the media pressure inherent to his status did not help matters. To this must be added injuries which particularly affected her. However, all that is behind him. From now on,
Yoann Gourcuff is happy alongside his partner Karine Ferri. But if the latter has no problem talking about his intimate life, this was not the case before. However, he surprised more than one by opening up about his sexuality.
Yoann Gourcuff without filter on his privacy
The former footballer was a particularly discreet person. Particularly when it comes to his private life. However, he had made an exception. In fact, on the occasion of the broadcast
Champion Objectivetalk show broadcast in 2011, the dandy from Olympique Lyonnais revealed the contours of his sexuality. But it must be said that Yoann Gourcuff's words were not crystal clear. Enough to give enormous difficulty to Cécile de Ménibus, former chronicler of Cauet.
However, this did not prevent the latter from being direct as usual. It was then that she led her boat to attack Karine Ferri's companion, accusing him of “hide behind a shell”. Because the former playmaker of the France team never took the trouble to deny or confirm what is said about him. “I would like to be left alone of course. But I think this is the case for all players who are in the media”, he replied.
“I can say that I like women”
Faced with Yoann Gourcuff, Cécile de Ménibus did not give up. It was then that the latter moved on to a very specific subject, sexuality. Once considered one of the sexiest footballers, she asked him to affirm his love for women. “Don’t you want to say “Guys, I like girls, and cut me some slack on that one too?”, she asked as a question.
And if the former Girondins de Bordeaux player was used to saying nothing on this subject, he still made the effort to speak out. “People who know me know very well, so, yes, I can say that I like women”, he confided. Something to please the host.
